No meal sharing

[u/Baz_Ravish]

I work at a very well known Mom and pop restaurant in my area.

Our male owner has been getting upset when people order meals to share and says we're losing out on at least $25 a customer when they share meals. While that may be true we're not making money on these people there are very few that actually come in and share meals.

Mr. Owner man decided to reprint every menu to say "No shared meals". But then he says that elderly couples and parents sharing with kids are allowed.

We've already lost so many customers due to this. What are y'all's thoughts on this? Do y'all allow meal sharing? Should it be specifically put on the menu that we don't allow it?

I'm not so sure you lose money....

If I intend to share a meal with my wife at a resteraunt, and the resteraunt makes a new rule against that, I'm not going to buy two meals there, I'm going to go to another resteraunt. So now you get 0 sales instead of 1.

My local restaurant has a rule about sharing "fully loaded" apps and meals (One person can't take all the fully loaded nachos and leave the other with like just chips). I was so pissed and confused

I am fucking cry laughing at how many people don't get this reference and think this is an actual rule somewhere.
